To the flow of the trade winds: Facundo Fierro dialogues with the flamenco masters at Casa Lercaro (2024)

Between March 15 and May 26, 2024, the Museum of History and Anthropology of Tenerife presented "In the Flow of the Trade Winds. The Flemish Route. Flanders in the Canaries" at Casa Lercaro, La Laguna, an exhibition in which Facundo Fierro puts his contemporary production in dialogue with Flemish masters present in the museum's own collections, such as Joos van Cleve and Jan Swart van Groningen.

The exhibition received coverage in national media outlets with regional editions, such as Cadena SER, which also highlighted milestones in his career such as "Poema del Volcán" and the films by Jorge Lozano Van de Walle associated with that project. As MUNA had previously done with "Piel de la Isla," Casa Lercaro scheduled guided tours by the artist himself.

In an April 2024 interview with Diario de Avisos, "Flanders is alive in the Canaries," Fierro elaborates on the continuity of the Flemish cultural presence in the archipelago and connects this exhibition with his time in France and his relationship with the Carnival, closing a narrative thread that runs through much of his career: from Nice to Flanders, by way of the Canaries.
